If there is a real story for the romantics this season it has to be Corinthian-Casuals.
For genuine amateurs to reach the play-offs on the back of 10 wins from the last 11 games of the regular season was one thing.
But to go on and win 4-3 at big-spending Greenwich Borough - former Brentford striker Charlie MacDonald and all – in Tuesday’s semi-final was quite another, particularly as James Bracken’s side won the tie despite playing for 70 minutes with 10 men after Coskun Ekim was sent off.
A winner-takes-all clash at Dorking Wanderers awaits this weekend.
Whatever happens, there are sure to be envious glances and offers for both Bracken and his players, but winning promotion with Casuals would be a unique achievement in any of their footballing lives.
